Actually, I don't pay much attention to kawaii things. But to me, cartoons in general are pretty cute with how much you can stretch and exaggerate things like expressions, lines, and shapes on them.
E.G An exaggerated chubby lil' toon with big agoo eyes will probably be more cute-worthy than a slim, more realistic character. Although, I guess slim and realistic could count as a whole different kind of cute...

I guess simplicity would be a good contributor, too. When you see something cute you should be all "Oh my gosh, this is so cute!" Not-"This character has a lot of details. I am totally going to acknowledge it for a while just to evaluate how cute it is."

A lot of things can be cute, though.
It's not really a style. Actually, I wish people wouldn't just heavily rely on a certain, specific style to make something out to be "cute." Experiment. See how you can make "cute" things in different ways, instead of just giant shiny eyes or whatever the shit.
